Due to the excellent film-forming and adhesive properties, the resin from the Acacia tree is often used as a natural glue or emulsifier for the production of foodstuff, beverage, sweets and cosmetic industry. It has ideal stabilization and suspension properties for beverages or beverage emulsions, cosmetics, or other emulsions. The main constituent of gum arabic is arabinogalactan, a biopolymer consisting of arabinose and galactose monosaccharides. The gum is rich in magnesium, calcium and potassium salts. It displayes anti-inflammatory und wound healing activity. Solubility and low viscosity emulsion properties have facilitated the use of GA as an encapsulating agent for retention and protection of chemically reactive and volatile flavoring.
